    Speaker: Vlad Kolesnikov, Developer Relations Engineer at Google

    In this webinar abstract, you'll learn how to leverage Google's cutting-edge tools—Agent Development Kit (ADK), Veo 3, and Nano Banana—to create sophisticated generative video agents. We'll show you how to build a unified workflow that combines the strengths of each platform, from generating hyper-realistic 3D assets to producing dynamic, cinematic video content. By the end of this session, you'll have the knowledge to build intelligent agents that can automate the entire video production pipeline, opening up new possibilities for creative storytelling, marketing, and more.

    Key Takeaways
    - Google ADK: This toolkit simplifies the creation of smart AI agents, enabling them to reason, remember information, and interact with other models and tools.

    - Veo 3: Google's advanced video generation model turns text prompts and images into high-quality, high-resolution videos with native audio and realistic motion.

    - Nano Banana: Known officially as Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, this tool is a fast, highly realistic image-to-3D model generator that's perfect for creating consistent characters and assets.

    Keep Learning and Building!
